Hi Thomas,

The new version of the changelog is more clear then this one. In case you
want a cleaner version I can submit a new version.

Anyhow yes, in short the change is the introduction of system_percpu_wq
and system_dfl_wq without changing the behavior:

   system_wq -> system_percpu_wq
   system_unbound_wq -> system_dfl_wq


Many thanks!
